From #NLI - ‘We believe that Miss Coddington was a member of the Coddington family who owned the land at the Battle of the Boyne site. The image has been hand-tinted and resides in a leather case (c.1852). Learn more over on Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/aFMYX2 ‘. Probably one of William Sharman Crawford’s granddaughters (his daughter Maria married Henry Coddington of Oldbridge House in 1827 and had eight children) #SharmanCrawford
